| "Dick Starks' tribulations and loss of
innocence are your gain. His mixture of humor, philosophy, and technical stuff offers a
unique insight into the slightly warped mind of a dedicated aircraft homebuilder." -Dave Martin, editor of KITPLANES
"Dick has truly caught the flavor of learning to fly as well as the trials and
tribulations of building an airplane . . . with his great sense of humor adding some
spice." |
|
"This is a great story of affordable
personal aviation seldom told outside of the sometimes tight little circle of the
Experimental Aircraft Association aero-nuts." -Frank Kingston Smith, author of Weekend Pilot "He bumbles, fumbles, and stumbles at even the most simple tasks, yet lives. Worse
than that, he has the utter lack of shame to sit down and reveal it all in this book. . .
For all his confessions of fear and humble bumbling, the man has the most direct thinking
process, understands what he wants, goes for it without a lot of shilly-shallying, and is
also a quick study." |

Second Book

| Profusely illustrated. Foreword by
Scott Spangler. Reviewed by Kitplanes Magazine, Light Sport Aircraft
and Scott Spangler.
Edited by Sharon Starks, Cartoons by Sharon Starks, Cover design by Doreen Hann. Everyone
needs an “airport bum” like Dick Starks. For the days when the
flying is bad but the adult beverage is good, no one spins an
outrageous tale—more or less based in fact, or things that have
been shown a picture of fact—like Dick. Come to think of it, not
many can get away with using the word “Fokker” in polite
company, either. But best of all, Dick’s tales of flying WWI
replicas for airshow enthusiasts and the occasional Marvin are so
richly drawn, compelling and side-achingly funny that you’ll
discover yourself wanting to build your own Nieuport so you can join
the Dawn Patrol and be a part of the act. “Fokkers At Six
O’Clock” will do that—and make you laugh out loud. Sounds like
a hit to me. --Marc
Cook, editor in chief, Kitplanes |
